Expose PATENTS next to the license section #189

Some repositories hold a PATENTS clause in a separate file. This may affect the decision of whether to use that project or not. This should be exposed in the user interface of NPM (and maybe in the command line interface as well). This may require another package.json field, I guess.

Concur with this, as it would be very useful for processing licenses and patents in an automated way..
